Moody Institute o f Science presents anothe SERMON FROM SCIENCE FILM with Dr. Irwin A . Moon ' T h e P r o f e S S O and The Prophets”

By The Honorable Nelson S. Dilworth (Retired State Senator) p a s t summer, ( 1 9 6 1 ) ■AJF a middle-class American family who live not far from me, ventured to make an automobile tour of Eur­ ope. They visited a dozen countries, including Russia, which they entered from Finland, driving to Moscow, and out by way of Minsk and Poland. They toured the most modem areas of the Soviet land, the sections which are “ dressed up” as a showcase of Communism for outsiders. They had much to tell about the degradation and hardship of the peo­ ple. Before their trip they had been told often that the Soviet guaranteed freedom of religion and freedom of anti-religious propaganda, but they found the Soviet definition of freedom entirely different from ours. They reported that atheism was taught in all the Soviet schools. “ Yet it is a crime for one person to teach. religion to another even in the case of parent and child,” they stated. Children under eighteen are forbid­ den to attend church. Most of the old churches are used as warehouses or museums. One guide, taking them through an active old church, remarked, “ Soon all these old people will be dead and the state will have another museum.” In Moscow, a city of four millions, there is only one Protestant church. Church wed­ dings are not recognized by the gov­ ernment. While looking through the Lenin Library in Moscow that boasts twen­ ty-one million books, they were told that library contained no copy of the Bible. Freedom of religion indeed! The penalty in Russia for teaching your own child about God or Christ is life in -.o slave labor camp. There is but one Protestant church in Moscow and no Sunday School in which to teach the children of salvation, the Christ­ mas story, and the Way to our Blessed Saviour’s eternal Dwelling Place.

Did the Bible prophets speak by divine authority or from human imagination? What chance do human predictions have of coming true and how do fulfilled Bible prophecies compare?
